No - semantic satiation is when you read or hear a word so much in a short timeframe that it stops feeling like a real word, and briefly feels like just a jumble of letters/sounds.
If this question is “Would you rather everyone be able to talk, or just people who are correct?” Then, uhm, correct according to who?
I prefer having a range of forums of different functions, from “Only my friends can speak” to “everyone, save for those who use speech to harass or intimidate, can speak” to “only the teacher can speak.” None of those fit neatly into either category here (even teachers are sometimes wrong).
Mx is common-ish among nonbinary people. Here’s a relevant poll regarding people’s usages of it: https://www.gendercensus.com/results/2023-mx/
The pledge of allegiance, not the anthem. But yes, it was every day. Although, where I grew up, it was never enforced, and most kids didn’t stand or participate.
About 2300 in Terraria. Great game.
The most commonly accepted words for those concepts are gynesexual (attraction to women) and androsexual (attraction to men), though they’re used rarely
Wars tend to involve civilians getting hurt, because yeah, it’s cheaper and easier to disregard international law.
I wouldn’t generalize that to evil always winning vs good, though. Human life is complicated, and mean, but progress gets made anyway. There’s a reason most people dislike war.
That's fair, if it's well-advertised by instance admins then it could have like 4x the contributor count.
Stuff like “Unions aren’t guaranteed to give you a raise, or any other benefits,” “Unions just want you to join so you can pay dues to them (think about all the things you can buy with 1% of your income!),” “Unions get in the way of workers having a healthy relationship with management,” “Unions make things less efficient, so we may dip into unprofitability and have to close down the factory…” Employers also often hire “neutral third parties” to tell employees that unions can be good, or used to be good, but aren’t at [employer].
Joining a union is the sensible thing to do, but employers fighting tooth and nail and breaking every slap-on-the-wrist law on the books is also the sensible thing for them to do, so they do everything from anti-union pamphlets to one-on-one intimidation meetings to calling ICE on their pro-union immigrant workers
